Tidepool Games has just released a thrilling new game for Android enthusiasts: *MageTrain*. If you're a fan of fast-paced pixel art games and have played Nimble Quest, *MageTrain* will feel right at home. It's heavily inspired by Nimble Quest, blending elements of classic Snake games, auto-battlers, and roguelikes into a unique gaming experience.
What’s MageTrain Like?
In *MageTrain*, you take control of a line of heroes that move like a snake, automatically attacking enemies as you navigate through the arena. Your strategic role involves managing the positioning of your heroes within the train, as their abilities vary based on their placement. Whether leading the charge or providing backup, each hero brings unique skills to the table.
The game launches with nine heroes, including one that uniquely throws birds, each with distinct abilities that change depending on their position in the line. You'll traverse eight different dungeons, combat 28 enemy types, and unlock 30 skills to enhance your team. Along the way, you'll collect gold and power-ups, adding layers of strategy and excitement to each run.
*MageTrain* adopts a roguelike structure, ensuring that no two runs are the same. You'll navigate branching paths, select upgrades, and strive to survive as long as possible. This format mirrors popular games like *Slay the Spire* or *FTL*, where there are no fixed levels and no option to save progress. Every misstep or overwhelming enemy encounter means starting anew, adding to the game's challenge and replay value.
It Isn’t Slow-Paced
The key to enjoying *MageTrain* lies in the continuous improvement you experience with each run. Even if you don't succeed, you'll learn crucial strategies about when to play defensively, when to launch an all-out attack, and when to simply survive a bit longer. This fast-paced gameplay keeps you engaged and eager to improve.
*MageTrain* is now available on Android and is free to play. Dive into the action by downloading it from the Google Play Store.
